Advanced Denial of Service Protection

TippingPoint's Advanced Denial of Service (DoS) Protection offers the most comprehensive coverage against a broad variety of Denial of Service attacks. TippingPoint utilizes a hybrid approach to provide comprehensive protection against DoS attacks that exploit vulnerabilities, attacks from other Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack programs and attacks from bandwidth consuming packet floods. In addition, TippingPoint's Advanced DoS Protection provides coverage against the following:

• SYN Floods: An attacker floods a server with malicious connection requests (TCP SYNs) with spoofed source IP addresses, preventing legitimate clients from accessing the server.
• Established Connection Floods: An attacker takes control of many computers (bot army) and has the bot army establish a large number - potentially millions - of malicious TCP connections to a server, preventing it from accepting new requests from legitimate clients.
• Connections Per Second Floods: An attacker uses a bot army to repeatedly request resources, such as Web pages, from a server. The resulting load makes the server sluggish or inaccessible.

In addition, TippingPoint's existing DoS/DDoS Protection includes:

• Vulnerability Protection - Protects against DoS attacks that exploit vulnerabilities
• Attack Tool Protection - Protects against well-known DDoS attack programs including TFN, Loki and Stacheldraht
• Threshold Filters - Protects against packet floods like ICMP, TCP or UDP that can consume network bandwidth or server resources causing legitimate packets to be dropped. These filters baseline and throttle traffic when it goes beyond a set percentage.
